Getting Ready to Play

Either an AC adaptor or batteries can be used to power this
Digital Keyboard. Normally, use of AC adaptor power is
recommended.
• The AC adaptor does not come with this Digital Keyboard.
Purchase it separately from your retailer. See page E-3 for
information about options.

Use the AC adaptor when you want to power the Digital
Keyboard from a household electrical outlet.

• Be sure to turn off Digital Keyboard power before
connecting or disconnecting the AC adaptor.

• Be sure to turn off power before loading batteries.
• It is up to you to prepare six commercially available
D-size batteries. Do not use oxyride batteries or any
other nickel based batteries.
1. Open the battery cover on the bottom of the
Digital Keyboard.

2. Load six D-size batteries into the battery
compartment.
Make sure the positive + and negative - ends of the
batteries are facing as shown in the illustration.

3. Insert the tabs of the battery cover into the
holes on the side of the battery compartment,
and close the cover.

■ Low Battery Indication
The indicator shown below starts to flash to let you know
when battery power is low. Replace the batteries with new
ones.

Playing the Digital Keyboard

1. Press 1.
This turns on power.
2. Try playing something on the keyboard. Use 2
to adjust volume.

• Turning off the Digital Keyboard causes most current
settings to be cleared. The Digital Keyboard will revert
to initial settings the next time you turn it on.
• This is true for all settings except for sample sound
protection. Once you turn it on it remains on until you
turn it off again.

While you are using batteries for power, power will turn off
automatically if you do not perform any operation for about six
minutes. Auto Power Off is disabled while the AC adaptor is
being used for power.

■ Disabling Auto Power Off
You can disable Auto Power Off to ensure that power is not
turned off automatically during a concert, etc.
1. While holding down bo, turn on power.
Auto Power Off will be disabled.

Using headphones cuts off output from the built-in speakers,
which means you can practice playing even late at night
without disturbing others.
• Be sure to turn down the volume level before connecting
headphones.

• Headphones do not come with the Digital Keyboard.
• Use commercially available headphones. See page E-3 for
information about options.

• Do not listen to very high volume output over
headphones for long period. Doing so creates the risk
of hearing damage.
• If you are using headphones that require an adaptor
plug, make sure you do not leave the adaptor plugged
in when removing the headphones.

Touch Response alters tone volume in accordance with
keyboard pressure (speed). This provides you some of the
same expressivity you get on an acoustic piano.

■ Sound intensity depends on the speed that keys
are pressed.
People normally believe that the stronger the pressure applied
to a piano keyboard, the louder the sound. Actually, however,
the intensity of the notes played depends on the speed at
which keys are pressed. Notes are louder when keys are
pressed quickly, and quieter when keys are pressed slowly.
Keeping this in mind as you play a keyboard musical
instrument lets you control note volume without striving to
apply too much pressure with your fingertips.

■ The playability of an acoustic piano
Your Digital Keyboard provides you with key touch that is the
next best thing to an acoustic piano. Note volume changes
automatically in accordance with key press speed.

Use the procedure below to control how much the volume of
played notes change in accordance with playing speed.
Select the setting that best matches your playing style.
1. Press cs and then use the br (10-key) [4] (
)
and [6] (
) keys to display “Touch” (page
E-6).

2. Use br (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to select one of
the three Touch Response sensitivity settings.

1. Press cs and then use the br (10-key) [4] (
)
and [6] (
) keys to display “OTHER” (page
E-6).

2. Press br (10-key) [7] (ENTER) key.

3. Use the br (10-key) [4] (
) and [6] (
) keys
to display “Contrast”.

4. Use the br (10-key) [–] and [+] keys to adjust the
contrast.
• The contrast setting range is 01 to 17.

The metronome lets you play and practice along with a steady
beat to help keep you on tempo.

1. Press 6.
This starts the metronome.

2. Press 6 again to stop the metronome.

You can configure the metronome to use a bell sound for the
first beat of each measure of the song you are playing.
• You can specify 0, or a value from 2 to 6 as the number of
beat per measure.
• When playing a built-in song, the beats per measure setting
(which determines when the bell sounds) is configured
automatically for the currently selected song.
1. Hold down 6 until the beats per measure
setting screen appears on the display.

• If you do not perform any operation for a few seconds
after the beats per measure setting screen appears, the
display will return to the screen displayed before you
pressed 6.
2. Use br (10-key) to enter the number of beats
per measure.
• The bell will not sound if you specify 0 for this setting. In
this case, all beats are indicated by a click sound. This
setting lets you practice with a steady beat, without
worrying how many beats there are in each measure.

Use the following procedure to change the tempo of the
metronome.
1. Press bn.
Use y (slower) and t (faster) to change the tempo
setting. Holding down either button changes the setting at
high speed.
• Pressing t and y at the same time will initialize the
tempo setting in accordance with the currently selected
song or rhythm.
• Pressing bn causes the tempo value to flash on the
display. While the tempo value is flashing, you can use
br (10-key) to change it.
Note that you must input leading zeros, so 89 is input
as 089.
• The tempo value will stop flashing if you do not perform
any operation for a short while.

The metronome volume setting is changed automatically with
the volume level of the currently selected Auto
Accompaniment or song. The metronome volume cannot be
adjusted independently.
• For information about changing the Auto Accompaniment
volume, see page E-40.
• For information about changing the song volume, see page
E-28.

• You cannot adjust the balance between the metronome
and note volume during Auto Accompaniment and built-in
tune play.

of musical instrument sounds, including violin, flute, orchestra,
and more. Even the same song sound takes on a different feel
by changing the instrument type.

1. Press bo.

2. Use br (10-key) to select the tone number you
want.
The corresponding tone number and tone name will
appear on the screen.

tones.
• Use the number buttons to enter the tone number. Specify
three digits for the tone number.
Example: To select 001, enter 0 3 0 3 1.
• When one of the drum sets is selected, each keyboard key
is assigned a different percussion sound.

3. Try playing something on the keyboard.
The tone of the instrument you selected will sound.

1. Press bo and bp at the same time.
This selects the grand piano tone.

Controlling the Keyboard Sounds

E-13

You can use the following procedure to layer two different
tones (such as piano and strings) so they sound
simultaneously when you press a keyboard key.
1. Select the first tone you want to use.
Press bo and then use br (10-key) to select the tone you
want.
Example: 026 ELEC.PIANO 1 (CTK-5000)

2. Press cp.

3. Use br (10-key) to select the second tone you
want.
Example: 212 STRINGS (CTK-5000)

4. Play something on the keyboard.
Both tones sound at the same time.
5. Pressing cp again to unlayer the keyboard (so it
plays only the tone you selected in step 1).
• Each press of cp toggles between layered (two tones)
and unlayered (one tone).

You can use the procedure below to assign different tones to
the right range and left range of the keyboard, so it sounds
like you are playing an ensemble between two instruments.

1. Select the tone for the right side range (page
E-12).
Press bo and then use br (10-key) to select the tone you
want.
Example: 335 FLUTE 1 (CTK-5000)

2. Press co.

3. Use br (10-key) to select the left side range tone
you want.
Example: 056 VIBRAPHONE 1 (CTK-5000)

4. Play something on the keyboard.
This will sound the tones assigned to the left and right
side ranges of the keyboard.

5. Pressing co again to unsplit the keyboard (so it
plays only the tone you selected in step 1).
• Each press of co toggles between split (two tones) and
unsplit (one tone).

• If you turn on both layer and split, layering will be applied to
the right side range of the keyboard only.

1. While holding down co, press the keyboard key
where you want the split point to be.
The key you press will become the lowest note of the right
side range of the split keyboard.
Example: Setting middle C (C4) as the split point.

Sampling Sounds and Playing Them on the Digital
Keyboard

You can use the Digital Keyboard to sample a sound from a
portable audio player, or other device, and then play the
sound with keyboard keys. For example, you could sample
the bark of your dog and then use the sound in a melody. You
also can sample and use passages from a CD. The sampling
feature is a great way to create new sounds that are highly
creative.

• Turn off the external device and the Digital Keyboard
before connecting them.
1. Connect an external device to the Digital
Keyboard.

• Connection requires commercially available connecting
cords, supplied by you. Connecting cords should have a
stereo mini plug on one end and a plug that matches the
configuration of the external device on the other end.

2. Turn down the volume levels of the external
device and the Digital Keyboard.

3. Turn on the external device and then the Digital
Keyboard.

• Sampled sounds are recorded in monaural.

Using Built-in Songs to Master Keyboard Play

To master a song, it is best to break it up into shorter parts
(phrases), master the phrases, and then put everything
together. Your Digital Keyboard comes with a Step Up Lesson
feature that helps you to do just that.

The built-in songs are pre-divided into phrases to help you
master keyboard play.

Step Up Lesson takes you through practice of the right hand
part, left hand part, and both hand parts for each phrase of a
song. Master all of the phrases and you master the song.

Using a Memory Card (CTK-5000 Only)

Your Digital Keyboard’s SD memory card
slot makes it possible for you to store
record memory and other data on a
commercially available SD memory card.

● Supported SD Memory Cards
Your Digital Keyboard supports the use of memory cards up
to 2 GB. Use of any SD memory card with greater capacity is
not supported. See the instructions that come with the SD
memory card for information about its capacity.

User data that can be saved and loaded

• Use only SD memory cards. Operation is not
guaranteed when any other type of memory card is
used.

• When using an SD memory card, make sure you
observe all of the precautions in the instructions that
come with it.
• SD memory cards have a write-protect switch that you
can use to protect against accidental deletion of data.
• Avoid using an SD memory card under the following
conditions. Such conditions can corrupt data stored on
the memory card.
• Areas subjected to high temperature, high humidity,
and corrosive gas
• Areas subjected to strong electrostatic charge and
digital noise
• Never touch the contacts of an SD memory card when
loading it or removing it from the Digital Keyboard.
• While data is being stored to or recalled from an SD
memory card, never perform any other Digital
Keyboard operation or remove the SD memory card.
Doing so can corrupt the data on the card and damage
the card slot.
• Never insert anything besides an SD memory card into
the card slot. Doing so creates the risk of malfunction.
• Electrostatic charge discharging from your fingers or
the SD memory card to the card slot can cause
malfunction of the Digital Keyboard. If this happens,
turn the Digital Keyboard off and then back on again.
• An SD memory card can become quite warm after very
long use in the SD memory card slot. This is normal
and does not indicate malfunction.

The metronome does not sound.
• Check and adjust the accompaniment volume setting (page E-40).
• Check and adjust the song volume (page E-28).
• Turn power off and then back on to initialize all Digital Keyboard
settings (page E-9).

Notes keep sounding, without stopping.
• Turn power off and then back on to initialize all Digital Keyboard
settings (page E-9).
• Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor
power (page E-8).

Some notes are cut off while they are playing.
Notes are cut off whenever the number of notes being sounded
exceeds the maximum polyphony value of 48 (24 for some tones).
This does not indicate malfunction. See “Maximum Polyphony” in the
“Tone List” in the separate “Appendix”.

The volume or tone setting I made has changed.
• Adjust the main volume setting (page E-9).
• Turn power off and then back on to initialize all Digital Keyboard
settings (page E-9).
• Replace the batteries with new ones or switch over to AC adaptor
power (page E-8).

Output volume does not change even though is
change my keyboard touch.
• Change the Touch Response setting (page E-10).
• Turn power off and then back on to initialize all Digital Keyboard
settings (page E-9).

In certain keyboard ranges, the volume and tone
quality sound are slightly different from those in other
keyboard ranges.

This is due to system limitations. It does not indicate malfunction.

With some tones, octaves do not change at the far
ends of the keyboard.
This is due to system limitations. It does not indicate malfunction.

The pitch of the notes does not match other
accompanying instruments or sounds strange when
played long with other instruments.

• Check and adjust the transpose (page E-15) and tuning settings
(page E-15).
• Turn power off and then back on to initialize all Digital Keyboard
settings (page E-9).

The reverb of notes seems to change suddenly.
• Check and adjust the reverb setting (page E-14).
• Turn power off and then back on to initialize all Digital Keyboard
settings (page E-9).

Operation

When I perform a skip forward or skip back
operation, the skip operation moves multiple song
measures instead of only a single measure.

While song playback is stopped or a Step Up Lesson is in progress,
skip forward and skip back operations are performed in phrase units
(page E-26).

Tone, rhythm, and other settings revert to their initial
defaults whenever you turn on the Digital Keyboard.
Though Digital Keyboard settings reset when you turn off the Digital
Keyboard, you can save setups to registration memory for instant
recall whenever you need them (page E-46).

Computer Connection

I can’t exchange data between the Digital Keyboard
and a computer.
• Check to make sure that the USB cable is connected to the Digital
Keyboard and computer, and that the device is selected correctly
with your computer’s music software settings (page E-65).
• Turn off the Digital Keyboard and then exit the music software on
your computer. Next, turn the Digital Keyboard back on and then
restart the music software on your computer.
